I'll keep looking for that perfect one that was given away many years ago. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-this-color-wash-out-a-blonde-equipment-polka-dot-shirt#post-498434 Sun, 01 Jan 2012 15:18:17 +0000 nicoleb 498434@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Suz. It matters if it's pink or peach and what skin undertone you have. But if you're fair....it might still not be the best choice. You'll need to try it on to find out for sure! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-this-color-wash-out-a-blonde-equipment-polka-dot-shirt#post-498417 Sun, 01 Jan 2012 14:26:30 +0000 Claudia 498417@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Vicki, I ordered these silk utility blouses from Talbots and they are really beautiful quality and oversized like the Equipment "Signature" blouses and so much cheaper especially on sale. In real life the Talbots' "Chinchilla" color is more like a soft champagne color, the "Makeup" more like a very soft muted blush and their Ivory is more sheer than how these colors appear on the monitor from their website. May be worth a try, especially for the price. I wear these tucked into skirts and untucked with jeans:<br /> <a href="http://www.talbots.com/online/browse/product_details.jsp?zoomImage=13075049_alt2&#038;id=prdi26857&#038;catId=cat80006&#038;rootCategory=cat90030&#038;sortKey=Default&#038;conceptIdUnderSale=cat90030&#038;section=Sale" rel="nofollow">http://www.talbots.com/online/.....ction=Sale</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-this-color-wash-out-a-blonde-equipment-polka-dot-shirt#post-498231 Sun, 01 Jan 2012 02:06:30 +0000 rae 498231@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>From the pic, I think it'll wash you out. If it was more of a salmon/coral color, I think it'd be better for you. Again, that's just going by the pic. You could pair it with a jacket in a better color, though... </p> <p>The white/navy one looks very pretty, too, and kind of Parisian, right? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-this-color-wash-out-a-blonde-equipment-polka-dot-shirt#post-498226 Sun, 01 Jan 2012 01:47:28 +0000 Anonymous 498226@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote for the white/navy one Ana mentioned! </p> <p>Your blouse color falls into the "flesh toned" category which will draw attention to your skin, since that's what it's color will echo. I've heard Clinton and Stacy mention that this works if you have beautiful skin (and are under 18, no doubt). So I agree with Suz, it has more to do with skin tone than hair color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-this-color-wash-out-a-blonde-equipment-polka-dot-shirt#post-498204 Sun, 01 Jan 2012 01:03:35 +0000 eye4beauty 498204@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If this is at least close to the actual color and/or shade, then I would say it would look good on a blonde, esp. if you're a medium, or golden, blonde.</p> <p>I wish you the best, Vicki. Happy New Year. : ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-this-color-wash-out-a-blonde-equipment-polka-dot-shirt#post-498185 Sun, 01 Jan 2012 00:37:51 +0000 Ana 498185@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Vicki, Nordstrom has this same blouse in white with navy polka dots right now (so cute!):</p> <p><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/equipment-earl-polka-dot-silk-blouse/3246843?siteid=J84DHJLQkR4-bP8gRx_WVHmZ6bsAm.FF5w&#038;url=http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/equipment-earl-polka-dot-silk-blouse/3246843?origin=category&#038;cm_ven=Linkshare&#038;cm_cat=partner&#038;cm_pla=10&#038;cm_ite=1" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/eq.....8;cm_ite=1</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-this-color-wash-out-a-blonde-equipment-polka-dot-shirt#post-498091 Sat, 31 Dec 2011 22:12:58 +0000 Suz 498091@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's really tough to say. I find these colours the hardest to judge online. Is it peachy or pinky? You won't know until you see it in person. And which would look best on you? Again, that all depends. It isn't your hair colour but your skintone that will determine whether it will work. </p> <p>I know that colour would NOT look good on me, but just because we are both blondes of a certain age doesn't mean our skin tones are the same. It is possible it could work for you! Still, a pain to order it and send back if it didn't work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-this-color-wash-out-a-blonde-equipment-polka-dot-shirt#post-498080 Sat, 31 Dec 2011 22:00:13 +0000 Vicki 498080@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Angie! I was feeling the same way, especially when looking at skin tones and the way something "muted" could even clash. I think I'll keep looking for something brighter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-this-color-wash-out-a-blonde-equipment-polka-dot-shirt#post-498072 Sat, 31 Dec 2011 21:51:00 +0000 Angie 498072@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I *think* so, Vicki. But I am not entirely sure. Online colours can be deceiving. You could order and experiment with the look. Also, the colour will probably look nice, but perhaps not your best. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-this-color-wash-out-a-blonde-equipment-polka-dot-shirt#post-498070 Sat, 31 Dec 2011 21:47:43 +0000 Vicki 498070@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Do you think this muted clay/white polka dot shirt is too pale for a fair-skinned blonde and would it look washed out? I notice they're showing it on a dark-haired model, so it's hard to figure what it would look like. It's not available in-store. But, I like the way they've paired it with distressed denim.</p> <p><a href="http://www1.bloomingdales.com/shop/product/equipment-earl-polka-dot-shirt?ID=572648&#038;upc_ID=1073536&#038;Quantity=1&#038;seqNo=1&#038;EXTRA_PARAMETER=BAG" rel="nofollow">http://www1.bloomingdales.com/.....AMETER=BAG</a></p> <p>I'm all over the map when it comes to colors, lately.
